Most of the people who say they are no good for smaller stuff are people who have never had an example of the breed, Ive had a couple of first crossers over the years, both got the odd rabbit..

Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Wouldnt buy a pup off anybody always selling pups there in it for the money buy from a breeder who is breeding to keep not someone making money or wanting a name. Quote Link to post

Lost Generation 93 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hi people im new to this forum and new to working dogs just starting to learn about it, ive decided what dog i want, i want a deerhoundx greyhound , but some people say theyre no good for the smaller quarry, does anyone know of any pups around ? I have a 3/4 grey / 1/4 deerhound bitch in pup at the moment and due to deliver next weekend. My bitch is a very, very good allrounder and outstandingly good on heavy quarry. She is in pup to Dave Platts pure deerhound Turpin so the pups will be 5/8 deerhound / 3/8 greyhound. This breeding throws pups very similar to first cross deerhound/grey but usually with a bit more coat, pm me if you want more info. Cheers. Quote Link to post
